Victoria ISD partners with First Financial Group of America to offer a comprehensive benefits package including life and health insurance, voluntary retirement accounts, and tax-advantaged accounts that help pay for medical expenses.
All employees working at least 20 hours each week are eligible for the complete benefits package.
Benefits are elected annually and can only be changed mid-year with a "qualifying life event" such as marriage, birth, adoption, divorce, loss of spouse's job, death, etc.

Tax-advantaged Medical Spending & Savings
Flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs) let you set aside pre-tax money, directly from your paycheck, to pay for eligible medical expenses.
Teacher Retirement System of Texas
The TRS retirement plan provides service and disability retirement benefits and death benefits. It is a defined benefit plan. Membership begins on your first day of eligible employment with a TRS-covered employer. As a TRS member, you're required by state law to contribute a percentage of your eligible compensation as your share of the funding for your benefits. Members who have at least five years of membership service credit are eligible to retire and receive a lifetime monthly annuity when they meet the applicable age requirement.

Types of Job-Protected leave include Family Medical Leave (FMLA) and Temporary Disability. Eligibility requirements vary. Most medical leave requires a Health Care Providers Certification establishing the need for leave.
Before returning from medical leave, employees must provide a written return to work release.
